Agnostic Atheists are exempt from evil, since it is neither malicious nor intended to be outside will of God. You cannot maliciously intend to refuse something which you do not believe exists and for which no evidence exists. It would be like saying you are maliciously intending to refuse the will of a spaghetti monster. It cannot be malicious nor intentional.
So only the deeply convinced religious can commit evil?
Actually.. starting to agree with you here Drich.
So.. in turn with your line of logic here; if you stop believing in the laws of gravity you will no longer be bound by them? Is that how you and superman do it? You just stop believing and then you can fly?
In truth whether you openly wish to be outside of God's expressed will or not, is not for you to judge. Like wise the malice you have in your heart to be outside of God's expressed will is to be determined by God. Not by formal declaration.
Just like with gravity God does not need your permission to judge you life against His expressed will.
